Filipino Time: Affective Worlds and Contracted Labor by Allan Punzalan Isaac
English | Nov 2, 2021 | ISBN: 0823298523, 0823298531 | 192 pages | PDF | 2 MB
From spectacular deaths in a drag musical to competing futures in a call center, Filipino Time examines how contracted service labor performed by Filipinos in the Philippines, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States generates vital affects, multiple networks, and other lifeworlds as much as it disrupts and dislocates human relations. Affective labor and time are re-articulated in a capacious archive of storytelling about the Filipino labor diaspora in fiction, musical performance, ethnography, and documentary film. Exploring these cultural practices, Filipino Time traces other ways of sensing, making sense of, and feeling time with others, by weaving narratives of place and belonging out of the hostile but habitable textures of labortime. Migrant subjects harness time and the imagination in their creative, life making capacities to make communal worlds out of one steeped in the temporalities and logics of capital.
Robert Gildea, "Fighters in the Shadows: A New History of the French Resistance"
English | ISBN: 0674286103 | 2015 | 608 pages | PDF | 35 MB
The French Resistance has an iconic status in the struggle to liberate Nazi-occupied Europe, but its story is entangled in myths. Gaining a true understanding of the Resistance means recognizing how its image has been carefully curated through a combination of French politics and pride, ever since jubilant crowds celebrated Paris's liberation in August 1944. Robert Gildea's penetrating history of resistance in France during World War II sweeps aside "the French Resistance" of a thousand clichés, showing that much more was at stake than freeing a single nation from Nazi tyranny.

Extraordinary Encounters: Authenticity and the Interview (Methodology & History in Anthropology, 28) by Katherine Smith, James Staples
English | Mar 1, 2015 | ISBN: 1782385894 | 212 pages | PDF | MB
Given the anthropological focus on ethnography as a kind of deep immersion, the interview poses theoretical and methodological challenges for the discipline. This volume explores those challenges and argues that the interview should be seen as a special, productive site of ethnographic encounter, a site of a very particular and important kind of knowing. In a range of social contexts and cultural settings, contributors show how the interview is experienced and imagined as a kind of space within which personal, biographic and social cues and norms can be explored and interrogated. The interview possesses its own authenticity, therefore―true to the persons involved and true to their moment of interaction―whilst at the same time providing information on human capacities and proclivities that is generalizable beyond particular social and cultural contexts.
